Fishing (The Sims 3)
Fishing is a skill in The Sims 3.
The Sims 3 incorporates a fishing skill that is gained by sims fishing in the ponds or ocean around the map. The higher their skill, the more types of fish they can catch. Books can be found at the bookstore showing the bait that can be used to catch specific fish, but a sim can determine the bait through trial and error by simply selecting a bait and seeing what they catch. Water can be inspected to see what known fish can be caught there, and whether the fish are active.
